"This was served at a dinner party I attended and the host was happy to give me the recipe. He said it was from the Sonoma Diet book. The hummus has a wonderful carrot flavor and the color is beautiful. Chill time is cook time;)"

Oh wow, this was an excellent basic recipe. The carrots blend in completely.

I followed the recipe as written. This looked absolutely gorgeous, (see my photo,) but taste-wise, I did not care for it at all. Despite the seasonings, I thought it rather bland - except for the garlic, which was somewhat *too* prominent. Otherwise, definitely needed more salt, maybe more lemon and cumin, too. Anyway, my friend I made it for thought it was great, (or at least that's what she said,) but I didn't like it, and I wouldn't make it again.

I didn't make it but my co-worker whom I passed the recipe onto did. She used more garlic and left the carrots raw. She served with a homemade rye/wheat bread ,

This is wonderful! I made as directed. I paired this with Arabian Pita Bread 17977 and had it for our lunch. I love the colour of this hummus. Thank you for sharing...will definately be making this again!!
